And the king was well pleased, and at the end of a month he sent for Ian and said to him: 'You have given me faithful service, and now I will entrust you with the most precious thing that my kingdom holds. And when he had spoken, he led Ian Direach to the stable where stood the bay colt.
The Commander of the Faithful is to us of all men the easiest of access: depend upon my zeal; it may be possible for me to serve you; you will entrust your misfortunes to a prudent ear, and to a soul truly charitable."
